Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet told BBC Radio Manchester:
“I’m really pleased. We were against a good team that threw a lot at us. I liked our effort, particularly defensively. I thought second half we weren’t great with the ball, but I loved our defence.
“The crowd was fantastic again, there was great energy in the stadium and it was a good game – particularly in the first half when it was going set for set.”
[On being top of Super League after making it 12 successive wins] “It’s irrelevant, really. It doesn’t mean a lot.
“It’s boring isn’t it, but we take each day as it comes. There are plenty of those games where we could have got beaten, so we won’t get too carried away.”
Wakefield Trinity head coach Daryl Powell told BBC Radio Leeds:
“I thought we were immense tonight. At 20-0 at half-time, it was the least likely 20-0 scoreline I’ve ever seen in my life. I thought we started the game unbelievably well and then we gave them a try.
“We’ve lost three games now, and I am disappointed, but I’m actually really enthused by what I saw tonight.
“I do think the refereeing department has to ask themselves a couple of questions, because that is ridiculous that first decision [to deny Jowitt a try]. Out of tonight, both teams were top class but there are other parts of this game that weren’t.
“I’ll be asking my team to get better from tonight and I think they should be doing the same.”
